GifRun vs Hagif

GifRun is a web tool for making GIF and WebP animations from YouTube, Vimeo, other supported video links, and uploaded videos. Its editor offers draggable text overlays, cropping, speed and frame-rate controls, filters, and output-resolution selection. Direct uploads accept MP4, MOV, and MKV files up to 200 MB. A free registered account supports clips up to 20 seconds and 600px resolution, with a watermark; anonymous use is limited to 10 seconds and 520px, also with a watermark and possible advertisements. PRO plans remove the duration cap and support output up to 2K without watermarks or ads, along with direct uploads. Pricing includes $5 a month, $50 a year, and a non-recurring $10.00 USD payment for 60 days of access. PRO subscribers can generate videos from text prompts using OpenAI Sora. Signed-in users can save creations to profiles and share image pages, while public images support likes, comments, feeds, and notifications. The maker says monthly and yearly subscriptions qualify for a full refund within 14 days.

Hagif is a browser-first workshop for creating downloadable media files, with workflows for GIFs, video, images, audio, PDFs, SVGs, and utilities. Featured tasks include video-to-GIF, GIF compression, image-to-GIF, and GIF-to-MP4; it also offers templates and prompt-to-GIF. Core conversion and editing run in the browser on the user’s device, and standard single-file processing is free, requires no account, and produces watermark-free downloads. Free batch GIF processing is limited to one file at a time. The 24-hour Hagif Power Pass costs $4.99, paid once and adds batch GIF processing, ZIP downloads, exact-target search, and additional quality candidates for up to 10 selected GIFs; it does not renew automatically. Hagif says files stay in the browser except when using AI GIF, which sends the text prompt to Cloudflare Workers AI before creating the animation in the browser. Large files may run out of memory, and codec support varies by browser, source format, and device.
